    Our group of 6 tried this restaurant for the first time for weekday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. Everyone was quite pleased with their orders. Background music was at an acceptable level, allowing us to converse without straining to hear each other. All in all, we were delighted to have discovered this restaurant at Fashion Valley!

    THE perfect place to bring our extended family coming together from across the country to celebrate my daughter’s UCSD graduation. The staff was incredibly accommodating and patient. Seating on the patio was comfortable and made it easy for everyone to hear conversation. The food was delicious. The cost was way less than anticipated for such a large group.

    The absolute best experience at Blanco Fashion Valley. I took my staff there for birthday celebrations. I first had to call because we were late for our reservation due to meetings and traffic. The lady on the phone, Olivia, was so nice and helpful. Then the food was all amazing!! Service was amazing. And even when they called the manager over so I could get everything settled, he was great. Usually there’s one person that’s not the best, but everyone was so great and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The drinks were yummy and so pretty too. 🙂
